Next launched its Black Friday event at 3am today, and it has reduced all sale items by a huge 70%.

Shoppers can save money across most departments including womenswear, menswear, baby and child, as well as homewear.

For Next fans the sale is a great opportunity to save some cash on Christmas presents and stock up on winter clothes.

This is the first year that Next has taken part in Black Friday. The sale is available online, as well as in store.

You can find it online here, but the the Black Friday sale section looks a bit different to the rest of the site. Instead of individually clicking on products - and adding them to your basket - you can select multiple items at the same time, making your shopping experience hassle-free.

Next is well known for its big Boxing Day sale, which sees thousands of people across the country line up outside its doors in the early hours of the morning.

But will the store's Black Friday event be just as popular as its post-Christmas sale?
